SOF kayak build

[sstout]

I store my boat indoors with a mechanic that rents out a barn. Needles to say the mechanic is closed for the foreseeable future so who knows when I'll actually see the boat this spring. So, what to do?

 

Build a skin of frame kayak to fish from. This was an old kayak I picked up for $40 last summer. I have fabricated about 80% of the wood pieces from new since most were rotted. Then spent the past few weekends sanding everything. Going to varnish it and put a new nylon and urethane skin on in the next few weeks. Then add some rod holders and a crate to the back. Should be neat.

Why is your mechanic closed?

It's a mechanic/bait and tackle/dealer. I think they are deemed non-essential and are closed. Atleast that was my thought on it.
